Thanks!

So it looks like i fixed the monthly totals but how do i fix the yearly?

https://www.adriansweatherstation.com/s ... y=2024&m=1

The totals for each month seems correct now but Its still says 60 inches on my front page unless it takes time to reflect.

So every day it shows some insane rainfall does this mean i have to edit each one ?



So confused...have no idea were all this ridiculous rainfall totals came from.

Start with Cumulus, what is it showing for the annual rainfall total now?

Have you had a day rollover since editing the daily values?

Hi Mark, Cumulus is showing 60.02 rainfall for the year right now thats what i see on the dashboard.

Scroll towards the bottom..

That's odd because I'm pretty sure Cumulus calculates the annual figure by adding up the daily values. I'll check the code later when I get home.

Your screen shot above shows you editing the monthly log file as well, that is a bit of a task! You really don't need to edit the counter value unless you have some software that uses it, just the "total so far".

Have you restarted Cumulus since making the edits?

Hi Mark, Oh i have not! I am remoteing into my home pc The only thing i did was edit the montly totals which now reflect 3.59 inches instead of the insanity of 27 inches it had before. i am actually kinda nervous doing anyting else. The yearly totals have not changed but maybe it will after a cumulus restart? I have not touched what i circled were it says counter. Sorry for the dumb question how can i reboot and start cumulus? Can you take me through the steps please.

Was able to reboot cumulus by unplugging my raspberry pi still no changes to the yearly rainfall totals. There has to be a way to fix this??

At start-up Cumulus goes through your day file and adds up the value for each day this year (and this month), this is where the values come from.

So, if the day file is correct for every day, then the year-to-date total should be correct as well. If it isn't then it indicates you still have a problem in your day file.

In your log file, near the start you will see messages like...

Code: Select all

GetRainFallTotals: Getting rain totals, rain season start = 
GetRainFallTotals: Today =
GetRainFallTotals: Rainthismonth from dayfile: 
GetRainFallTotals: Rainthisyear from dayfile:

Hi Mark! Were is this text In my day file? Your asking me to check it?

So you think the dayfile might be wrong for everyday somewere?

[mcrossley]

You said the error was in January, so use the built-in: Data logs > Dayfile to view all the days in January and find the days with erroneous readings in the Total rainfall column and edit to values you think they should be.

Once finished, restart Cumulus to recalculate the annual rainfall again.

I will go through January -April and update and correct each day that has wrong data. I am using a Cocorahs station that is very close to me. And then reboot.

Please don’t this time reboot by unplugging the power. Use commands

sudo systemctl stop cumulusmx
sudo reboot

to do it safely from ssh or console. The first one is only used if you are running CumulusMX as a service.

Edit. And actually you don’t need to reboot the whole system, you can also just start CMX again after stopping it.

Think i did it! i went through all the day files and fixed the errors. Just one problem i don't get it it's now showing in my weather link account the correct yearly totals for the first time i was really happy to see that but then on my site it still says 37.49 what on earth???

Edit...

Its also here on the cumulus dashboard but why not on my site??




You can also see it here in my station summary my yearly total is now 13.06 which is correct. Again this is NOT showing up on my site right now for whatever reason.

on my site it still says 37.49

That may be a caching issue.
I don't see 37.49 anywhere on your site.
